I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality
Chapter 560 Blockbuster
Chapter 560 Blockbuster
In the next few days, the DPRK seemed to be divided into two factions.
One group supported the abolition of contemporary Yanshenggong officials under the instruction of the cabinet. The other group strongly opposed it on the grounds that there was no precedent to follow and that Yanshenggong was the successor of Confucius and could not be abolished arbitrarily.
Several fierce conflicts broke out between the two sides because of their different opinions, but the emperor remained silent from beginning to end.
In this way, the atmosphere in the capital has become increasingly turbulent. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that a huge political whirlpool is constantly forming. If you are not careful, you will be torn apart!
Soon, the time came for the court meeting. Early in the morning, the cabinet and most of the officials came to the Royal Gate of Taihe Gate as usual, where the next court meeting would be held.
At this moment, Zhao Zhenji in the crowd ignored the debate among the officials around him about whether Yan Shenggong should be abolished. At this time, he was looking solemnly, staring in the direction of the five cabinet members, unwilling to look away. .
The specific reason is very simple. Before Zhao Zhenji came to attend the court meeting, many memorials impeaching Yan Shifan suddenly appeared in the Inspectorate.
In those impeachment memorials, the crimes listed by Yan Shifan included corruption, bribery, exclusion of dissenters, jealousy of talents, nepotism, etc. Some even used the example of Song Yiwang as an example in some memorials.
Zhao Zhenji still has some impressions of Song Yiwang. He was disliked by Yan Song because of Shangshu's impeachment of Ruan E and Hu Zongxian. After Yan Shifan became the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, he was demoted again and again, and his official career came to an end.
Among them, what puzzles Zhao Zhenji the most is that since Yan Shifan, the elder of the small pavilion, entered the cabinet, the Yan family has become even more powerful. Both father and son are the current pavilion elders, which is extremely rare in the Ming Dynasty!
Because of this, almost no one in the court dares to go against the Yan family, let alone write a memorial to impeach them!
But right now, there are many impeachment memorials coming directly to Yan Shifan.
Zhao Zhenji could feel that there was a pair of invisible big hands behind his back, manipulating everything.
"Who is it, Xu Jie, Gao Gong, or Zhang Juzheng who never shows off his appearance?"
While Zhao Zhenji was still racking his brains to think about this problem, a burst of noise coming from not far away interrupted his thoughts.
"Bah, you are a traitor. The Yanshenggong family has lasted for thousands of years and has made great achievements in educating people and persuading people to do good. How can they be abandoned at the drop of a hat? There has never been such a precedent in all dynasties!"
Zhao Zhenji followed the sound, and at this moment, he saw an old man with white beard and hair, pointing angrily at an official wearing a scarlet official uniform, and reprimanding.
And Zhao Zhenji had an impression that the official was from the Yan Party.
When the old man finished speaking, someone soon stepped forward to help: "Huh, Duke Yansheng has colluded with the White Lotus Sect. If we deal with it according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, the entire Kong family in Qufu will have to be dragged to Caishikou. Behead!”
"Yes, the current punishment given to them is only to abolish the current Yanshenggong, and the court will elect a new one at a later date. This can be regarded as the result of His Majesty's extrajudicial mercy!"
"That's it, you're still not satisfied. Could it be that the Ming Law is just a show-off?"
Seeing that the other party was using the Great Ming Law to suppress him, the old man with all white beard and hair became even more furious when he heard this. The officials behind him who supported the old man's views were also furious. Afterwards, the smell of gunpowder between the two parties became stronger and stronger. , the words gradually turned into pushing.
If this continues, all it takes is a spark to completely detonate the emotions of the two parties, and then elevate an ordinary argument into an unrestricted fighting competition!
Zhao Zhenji was no longer surprised by such plots. Over the hundreds of years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there have been many farces like this, and there were even cases where commanders were beaten to death by civilian officials.
In this regard, the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty inherited the legacy of their predecessors very well, and their martial virtues were extremely abundant, so things like fighting with each other often happened.
Just when the battle between the two sides was about to break out, Yan Song, who had been closing his eyes to rest since the beginning, opened his cloudy eyes at this moment, turned around, glanced at the officials one by one, and said in a deep voice.
"Stop it, what do you think this is?"
"If anyone dares to stir up trouble again, don't blame me, Yan Song, for being rude to you!"
Seeing the anger of Yan Song, the chief minister of the cabinet, the two groups of people who were at war with each other before now all stopped and did not dare to make any more moves.
After all, Yan Song has been the chief minister of the cabinet for more than 20 years. He already has many party members and has accumulated great authority. No official in the government dares to confront him face to face!
In this way, under Yan Song's intimidation, a fight that was about to happen was completely eliminated.
Although the conflict quickly subsided, Zhao Zhenji found some clues from it, because most of the people who supported the matter were Yan Dang or people from Qingliu.
On weekdays, the two sides often have different positions, but on the issue of abolishing Yan Shengong, they unexpectedly reached an agreement!
"Could it be that His Majesty ordered the abolition of Duke Yansheng?"
Zhao Zhenji squinted his eyes slightly and looked away from the five people in the cabinet. He felt that he had discovered the truth!
……
Not long after this, a loud voice was heard: "Your Majesty is here!"
After the words fell, many officials present gathered their thoughts and knelt down on the ground, speaking in unison.
"My ministers and others meet your majesty, long live my emperor, long live!"
Immediately, Jiajing was seen wearing a Chu yellow dragon robe. After glancing at the many civil and military officials kneeling on the ground, he immediately came to the dragon chair that had been prepared, waved his hands and said loudly.
"Well, get up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
As soon as Jiajing finished speaking, a deafening wave of sound hit Jiajing. Many ministers who had been kneeling on the ground got up from the ground one after another with Jiajing's permission.
Seeing this, Jiajing nodded and immediately sat down on the dragon chair, while Lu Fang stood beside Jiajing as usual.
Immediately, Jiajing winked at Lu Fang who was standing aside, and the latter quickly understood, and after bowing respectfully to Jiajing, he immediately retreated.
Not long after, the eunuch with the loud voice from before stood up and spoke loudly.
"Today's meeting at court will only discuss one thing, and that is, should the No. 60 fourth-generation descendant of Confucius be abolished and the contemporary Yan Shengdong Kong Shangxian should be abolished?"
Although the news that the emperor planned to abolish the contemporary Yan Shenggong had spread in the capital before this, when the news was confirmed by the emperor, many ministers present inevitably felt aroused in their hearts. A hint of unreality.
After all, the next thing to be discussed is whether to abolish the contemporary Yan Shenggong. This matter has no precedent in the past dynasties, and this matter will definitely be recorded in the annals of history!
"It seems that the previous conjecture was correct. His Majesty really brought the issue of abolishing Yan Shenggong to the court meeting!"
Yan Song thought this, and immediately tightened his grip on the wat board in his hand.
When the words fell, all the civil and military officials present, after the initial panic, quickly looked at their noses, noses and hearts, lowered their heads, and fell into silence. No one dared to stand up and express their opinions on this matter.
Seeing that many of the ministers present fell into silence, and no one stood up to raise their heads, Jiajing could not help but frown slightly, turned his eyes in the direction of Yan Song, and then said loudly.
"If you have any ideas, just put them forward!" Shortly after Jiajing's words fell, Yan Song stood up holding a wat tablet and said in a deep voice.
"Report to Your Majesty, this minister has his own performance!"
"speak!"
After receiving Jiajing's permission, Yan Song nodded slightly. After organizing the words in his mind, he immediately spoke.
"Your Majesty, I agree to abolish the contemporary Yan Shenggong!"
Yan Song's words were like a bombshell, completely detonating the scene. The faces of those officials who had no idea why were full of surprise and disbelief. They never imagined that Yan Song, as the chief minister of the cabinet, would be so clear-cut. express one's position.
But Yan Song turned a blind eye to this and just spoke to himself.
"Your Majesty, the reason why I agree to abolish the contemporary Yanshengong is not for any other purpose. I just want to seek justice for the local people who have been exploited!"
"As far as Wei Chen knows, the land rent of the Kong family in Qufu has always been [-]%. But not long ago, due to more and more people coming to join the service, the Kong family increased the land rent to [-]%!"
"Not to mention those people who have been taking advantage of their status as members of the Yan Shenggong family to commit crimes, commit crimes, plunder, and act lawlessly!
After Yan Song finished speaking, many officials at the scene changed their expressions. Among them, officials with experience in local governance had extremely ugly expressions.
Judging from the vast majority of the current situation in the Ming Dynasty, the grain that can be produced from one acre of land is generally between two and three shi, and one pound equals 16 taels. After conversion, the grain that can be produced from one acre of land is, At most, it only weighs about three or four hundred kilograms.
With such a small amount of food, after paying the court's taxes, there was not much left, which could only barely satisfy the people's stomachs.
As the Yanshengong family, the Kong family naturally has the privilege of tax exemption. Even the integrated grain payment policy for officials and gentry that was implemented not long ago did not include the Kong family in Qufu.
In other words, the Kong family not only has the privilege of tax exemption, but also relies on this opportunity to exploit the people even more unscrupulously.
"These beasts, they don't even leave any way for the common people to survive!"
"Yeah, even those corrupt officials have to take care of their hats and don't dare to exploit the people too much. What do they think of the people?"
"I heard that these things were all instructed by the contemporary Yan Shenggong Kong Shangxian!"
After Yan Song's words, indignant officials soon started discussing the matter.
When Xu Jie, who was beside Yan Song, saw this situation, he glanced at Yan Song calmly and said to himself.
"Humph, old man, I've got you to say all the good things!"
"Don't think I don't know. You, Yan Song, just want to take this opportunity to express your position to His Majesty. How can you come up with so many high-sounding words? In your heart, you have never been a commoner!"
"Besides, weren't you the one who was greedy for the power of the Kong family and just married your granddaughter to that Kong Shangxian?"
"Now something happened to the Kong family. In order not to be implicated, you Yan Song immediately kicked him away. I heard that you didn't even let anyone in through the door of Yan's house. How shameless!"
As Xu Jie thought this, a senseless anger suddenly arose in his heart. At this moment, he wished he could stand up immediately and expose Yan Song's image as a sanctimonious hypocrite in public.
But the reason in his heart told Xu Jie that he absolutely could not do this, because the emperor planned the whole thing behind the scenes. Not only that, as the second minister of the cabinet, he would also affirm Yan Song's words.
Just as Xu Jie held up the wat board in his hand and took a step forward, intending to stand up and express his attitude, a sudden change occurred!
The old man with all white hair and beard stood out from the queue resolutely, regardless of the dissuasion of his companions. Then, he turned his eyes to Jiajing, who was sitting on the dragon chair, and said in a deep voice.
"Report to Your Majesty, this minister has his own performance!"
Xu Jie on the side suddenly became furious when he saw this situation. He was about to rebuke him, but saw Jiajing wave his hand to signal him not to speak.
Seeing this situation, Xu Jie had no choice but to retreat to the side angrily.
After that, Jiajing turned his eyes to the old man with white hair and beard, waved his hand, and then gave instructions.
"speak!"
After getting Jiajing's permission, the old man with all white hair and beard immediately straightened his official uniform and said sadly.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly. There has never been such a precedent in all dynasties for the imperial court to abolish Duke Yansheng. If your Majesty really insists on having his own way, in the long run, the country will be ruined!"
"What you do will chill all the scholars in the world. I hope Your Majesty will think twice!"
After the old man with all white beard and hair finished speaking, he knelt down on the ground with a plop, his face full of determination.
When Jiajing heard this, he sneered and then said in a deep voice.
"Hmph, in the opinion of corrupt scholars, I have said before, is there anything in this world that remains unchanged?"
"There is a saying that change leads to smoothness, change leads to blockage, change leads to prosperity, change leads to decline, change leads to growth, and change leads to death. Everything is constantly changing. If we stick to the rules blindly, we, the Ming Dynasty, will not be able to The country will be destroyed!"
"Besides, the imperial court has given the Confucius family in Qufu such a respected position. Look, what have they done?"
"They did not educate the people and fulfill their responsibilities as members of the Yan Sheng Gong family. On the contrary, they colluded with the White Lotus Sect, treated the people like rotten dogs, and oppressed them at will. Their methods were cruel and shameful!"
When the old man with all white beard and hair heard this, he was about to argue, but was interrupted by Jiajing.
"Hmph, when China fell, I never saw what the Kong family did. When the Yuan Dynasty army slaughtered and enslaved the people, I didn't see them do anything for the people!"
"In their eyes, they only have their own wealth. I can say with certainty that even if one day, my Ming Dynasty is no longer around, the Kong family will still rush to find the next master. After all, the only thing they are good at is nothing more than It’s just about surrendering and taking sides!”
"Besides, haven't you heard of the saying that a gentleman will be killed in five lifetimes?"
After Jiajing finished speaking, he glanced at the many ministers present one by one.
